'Recreation II' Kyra Henley

Lilac City Studio is pleased to present Recreation II an exhibition of paintings by Sydney artist Kyra Henley.

Henley constructs paintings through a process of collage to create new and absurd narratives. Images sourced from magazines, and books of the 1950s, 60s and 70s are recontextualised to create unfamiliar landscapes of familiar images. These faux-realities become eerie masks to the destruction & darkness of the Post-War World from which the images come, the highly saturated pallet and incredible level of detail adding to this sense of facade.
